Selena Class – Editor

Hello! I'm a proofreader and copy-editor with 30 years of experience, specialising in academic, healthcare and business publications, including those written by those who have English as a second language. I'm happy to work using Word, Acrobat or hard copy proofs. I possess a very strong eye for detail and consistency in text, and am familiar with both British and US English.

Although my background is in biomedicine, I am comfortable working on books that cover a variety of subjects, including business, sociology, psychology, current affairs, philosophy, etc. I also possess some knowledge through personal interest in topics including gardening, food and drink, history, genealogy and entertainment, and have no problem working with difficult or sensitive issues.

I became a freelancer in 2015 and have since worked on a range of business-to-business reports, academic theses and papers, annual reports, event programmes and medical communications material, as well as books for some major publishing houses and now a number of interesting books by self-published authors. It's lovely to see a book I've proofread or copy-edited hit the presses and then someone's shelf!
